Better Radiology Workstation Lighting: How Biomorph Has You Covered

Better Radiology Workstation Lighting: How Biomorph Has You Covered

Why Radiology Workstation Lighting Matters

Lighting is one of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of a radiology workstation. Radiologists spend hours interpreting subtle details on PACS monitors, and poor lighting can cause:

  • Eye strain and fatigue

  • Glare and monitor reflections

  • Reduced diagnostic accuracy

  • Increased risk of burnout

Optimizing radiology workstation lighting is about more than comfort — it directly impacts focus, efficiency, and patient care outcomes.

Best Practices for Radiology Reading Room Lighting

When designing or upgrading a radiology workstation, keep these evidence-based principles in mind:

  1. Balanced Backlighting

    • Use low-level, uniform backlighting behind PACS monitors.

    • Reduces contrast between bright screens and dark rooms.

  2. Indirect Illumination

    • Avoid overhead glare.

    • Choose fixtures that provide soft, ambient light.

  3. Neutral Color Temperature

    • 4000K–5000K lighting supports accurate image interpretation.

    • Prevents color distortion on diagnostic monitors.

  4. Adjustable Ergonomics

    • Lighting should adapt to workstation height changes.

    • Pair with standing desks to maintain consistency.
